Darkness:

is spoken of as encompassing the actual presence of God, as that out of which he speaks,-the envelope, as it were, of divine glory (Exodus 20:21; 1 Kings 8:12). The plague of darkness in Egypt was miraculous. The darkness "over all the land," (Matthew 27:45) attending the crucifixion has been attributed to an eclipse, but was undoubtedly miraculous, as no eclipse of the sun could have taken place at that time, the moon being at the full at the time of the passover. Darkness is also, as in the expression "land of darkness," used for the state of the dead (Job 10:21-22) and frequently, figuratively, for ignorance and unbelief, as the privation of spiritual light (John 1:5; 3:19).
